Particulars:
The raptures in the figures through the years is caused by the obscure structure of towns, townships, municipalities and districts. In the sources used sometimes the kind of structure fails.
Total of a column is given when that column contains the figures of the districts.
Source "DC" means "Dirección de Censo", the provisional figures of the 2000 census as published in "Informe anual / Defensoría del Pueblo de la República de Panamá", 3 (2000/01).
In the righthand column of the year 2000 "corrig." means "corregimiento" (possibly something like a "township"?).
Source "PC" = "Panamá en cifras".
